U2 UNCOVERED

Post by gizzard »

Anyone see this documentary on tv the other night?

Very good it was too!
Excellent band. Would love to see them again but not paying £40+ for a ticket.
It costs £2 million per week to keep the tour going and they don't make a penny till the 51st date of the tour(not that they need the money)
Stunning light show which includes a light curtain made up of 30,000 bulbs.

Great band and HTDAAB is a stunning album.

I've never really got into U", and now they are just a 'stadium' group to me, so they don't hold any appeal.

The thought of it costing £2m per week to run this tour must make Bono think twice - he is constantly raisiing the awareness of the poorer countries in the world and encouraging others to help with this. How can he sleep at night knowing that this £2m per week to run a set of light is justified when compared to the suffering he highlights across the globe?

I know they have hundreds of thousands of fans who will pay £40+ per ticket - but it's just not for me.

Heavy stuff, but that's my opinion !
